Neighbourhood journalism. A residency with Vlad Marko Tolea
The residency produced the text of the "Married vs Unmarried" exhibition and the major pieces in issue 2 of the newspaper "Voices of Fabric".
A neighbourhood needs its own reporters — the ones who stay long enough to hear what is not said out loud.
Part ofSocial Fabric 2023
Vlad Marko Tolea is a journalist; he has written for VICE, Libertatea and Scena9, and in 2022 he published the volume "Underground TM". For his Social Fabric residency he worked on the ground, in Fabric.
His work produced the text of the "Married vs Unmarried" exhibition and the major pieces in issue 2 of the newspaper "Voices of Fabric": the history of the Traditional — the district's own football match — and the report "The Minorities", about three workers who had come from Tamil Nadu.
On 7 October 2023 he presented his residency publicly in the house garden, as part of the "With Open Doors" evenings.
